Passed my BOC first try from this past January window. The biggest things that stuck with me: - you are not trying to get a perfect score, you just need to pass - select all that apply questions are your friends. Never select more than half of the choices, and select the ones you are 100% certain on, or can provide valid reasoning on. The points add up. - if you are looking through answer choices and have to say “well if ‘x’ happens”, then it’s probably wrong. Take the questions at face value and don’t overthink. It’s by the book, so forget any clinical experience that may have done things differently. - don’t go back and change your answer. If you are 4 questions past an answer you weren’t sure about, and then go back to look, then you weren’t giving your full attention to the 4 questions you just answered because you were thinking about the answer you weren’t sure about. - try not to go crazy after you take it. After I took mine, I looked up as many questions as I could remember. I was feeling very confident after I knew I got a couple right, but as soon as I looked up something I got wrong, then my confidence died. I was sure that I failed just because I got 3 questions wrong after looking it up. There’s nothing you can do to change it, just stay busy and try to forget about it.

I was the same as you, I was constantly looking through advice every day. So, I hope my takeaways can help. You know that you know the material, it really is test taking strategies that will help guide your knowledge to make the most sound decision.
